• How to apply a vector mask to the background

  In my tutorial, I was told to choose a flower with the pen tool and magnetic box checked.  Then, hold down the command key, then press the vector mask button in the layers panel, with the path of the chosen flower.  In the tutorial, the flower is left and the background has disappeared.  But when I did, the flower has disappeared and the bottom remained.  How can I remove the background?

  

  I guess you checked the shape before subtracting, select combine forms instead.

  Then apply the vector mask.

• How to add a layer mask?

  It may be simple, but it seems confusing, please I need help

  Assuming that the variable myLayer is a layer object, the collection of all its masks is: myLayer.property ("ADBE Mask Parade");

  and his children are the groups of actual masks (which can be renamed). To add a mask to the collection, you do:

  var myMask = myLayer.property("ADBE Mask Parade").addProperty("ADBE Mask Atom");
  

  You can define the name, color, attributes of Rotobezier etc. (optional):

  myMask.name = "My mask";
  myMask.color = [1,0,0];
  myMask.rotoBezier = false;
  myMask.maskMode = MaskMode.ADD;
  

  To set its keyframable properties: property maskPath has special propertyType (SHAPE).

  You must create a Shape() object like this before you set the value:

  var myShape = new Shape();
  // set the vertices (coordinates of the vertices in layer coordinates, not comp)
  // + the inTangents (coordinates of the incoming Bezier handles with respect to the the corresponding vertices)
  // + the outTangents (coordinates of the outcoming Bezier handles with respect to the the corresponding vertices)
  // + the closed attributes
  var w = myLayer.width, h = myLayer.height;
  myShape.vertices = [[w/2, 0], [w,h], [0,h]];            // here: array of 3 "points"
  myShape.inTangents = [[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]];        // array of 3 "vectors"
  myShape.outTangents = [[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]];        // array of 3 "vectors"
  myShape.closed = true;
  // now set the value:
  myMask.property("ADBE Mask Path").setValue(myShape);
  

  In this example, all the tangents are 0 which gives a straight contour mask.

  Unless you have your loan of shape data, insert more complex values of the tangents is not so much straighforward.

• How can I "UN-invert" new vector masks?

  It drives me crazy.

  If I select a trace or a trace of work from the Trace Panel,

  Select a layer in the layers panel,

  then command - click the make a new mask (bottom).

  I get a new vector mask applied to my bed...

  But it is inverted. The form of the vector mask hides the part of the layer. In other words, it is like my mask is a cookie cutter and just make a hole in my coat.

  How can I create a new vector mask and hide everything on this layer, except the area of the mask?

  Either set the option in the toolbar options to add to the path box before to draw the path or select the path with the path Selection tool after drawing (or after you add the vector mask path) and set the option in the toolbar options to add to the area of the shape.

• Not crisp vector mask

  1) called on a solid green rectangle

  2) chose the shape once again the tool and the option value of path instead of shape layers

  (3) draw an oval or rectangular trajectory

  (4) in the layers panel, choose Add a vector mask

  Even if the density is 100% and 0px feather in the mask Panel, I'm blurry / faded / or borders jagged/pixelated.  Y at - it a setting I need to adjust to make this a vector mask strong.  According to me, it seemed just before (with net borders) - do not know if I accidentally messed up something.

  Thank you

  According to what you try to hide, any pixel, crossed by the border of the vector mask will certainly be partially hidden in the interest to create a smooth edge.

  But pace the image of a greater number of pixels and the edge of the remains of vector mask also crisp it was.

  Maybe I don't understand what you expect to see.

  This is normal:

• How to make a vector shape / layer in a mask without pixelation it?

  Watching Nigel French on Lynda.com transform a form (using the custom shape tool) in a mask, but following the same exact procedure he does not work for me:

  Select a new layer, press U, select Custom Shapes, has chosen to target record, size and release.

  Voila! In the video, he gets a layer mask on this new layer. I just get a new layer - and it's driving me crazy. He goes on to pen the layer to soften the edges, which, if it is possible, can be useful.

  I tried half a dozen variations such as drag and drop, creating a new layer from a solid fill color and me cannot work out how to make the shape in a mask. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I'm guessing that there is a setting I'm missing somewhere, maybe?

  just to be clear, I know that I can put a mask on my vector form by clicking on the icon of the mask or of the layer > vector mask > current path, but this is not what I'm asking. I want to know how to make the shape I paint in a mask on a layer, we layer (as in the right of it).

  If you can see, the video is here at the minute mark 7: create a logo with some shape layers in the Photoshop course for designers: shape layers

  The transcript over this article reads

  I want to fill the shape with white. So I'll do my foreground color white and press the Option or Alt + Delete as follows, and I also want to then adjust the opacity. I'll take the opacity down and here's something I want to do. I would like to pen, so that make us it sweet. Now, you may be thinking, wait a minute, all these layers of shape are vectors, how can they be feathered? Surely, they cannot be softened. Well, actually, they can.

  If we go to the masks Panel, I can simply increase the amount of feathering and you can see as I do he soft all edges in this path. Now another problem I have is that the inside of this shape of the target is displayed in the center of the bagel and we do not want that to happen. So I could spend time trying to position it just so, so that we don't see. But easier than that I'll just double-click my masks to make it smaller.

  Without having read what you have written here, I just Ctrl + click on the content icon in the palette shape layer layers to select the transparency of the layer.  This selection allows you to hide a layer in the layer to hide targetint then click on the Add layer mask in the layers palette.  The current selection will be used to create the layer mask.

• Add the path to a certain vector mask

  Hey all lovers of the PS/CS,.

  Of course, my question is something that needs to happen a lot and a lot. I just created a vector mask on my bed, and then I went straight by making a path for him. But I did not notice that the mask was not selected... So my path removes nothing of my original layer! It's just a way of hanging around - and it disappears when I select the mask or another layer.

  So, how preserve this path and it adds perhaps the vector mask, it was initially intended to? Thanks in advance.

  Charles

  To bring together the two paths

  If they are not on the same layer plicque in the tracks Panel, select copy and paste it into the other.

  Select the pen tool and hold down the CTRL (Cmd) key to temporarily select the direct Selection tool and drag on the outline of one of the paths.  Release the Ctrl key to return to the pen tool and add a point on the path, and then delete this point.  This creates a break in the path.

  Do the same thing to the other segment of the path.  Place the cursor on the end of one of the broken paths until you see the icon string (2nd in the table below) and add a point.  Place the cursor on one of the ends broken the other way and repeat.  Repeat for the other two endpoints.

  Add, delete, change the path to what you want. Job done.

  How to add an image to a layer with a mask?

  I use a flyer template and not good in photoshop.

  I just need to insert a picture in a layer with a mask

  What is the best way to do it?

  Thank you

  Just paste the photo. It turns on a new layer, which is OK, but then you just drag the mask above. Remove the old layer.

• Create vector masks (with the pen tool)

  I used Photoshop to make masks to cover things which I then import in first to use during the video.

  To do this I have been using a still of the video, then using the pen to select the part of the image I want to use as a camouflage. Once I described in section, usually I right-click to make a vector mask.

  Today, instead of make a mask out of the content inside the tool path pen, he made a mask of the content in reverse. In other words, what I don't want. I don't know what I did to the Photoshop of anger, I haven't changed any settings (as I know). How can I fix it?

• Vector mask thumbnails in the layers panel

  In Photoshop CC, vector mask photos see room for files and raster layers, but they don't show up for layers of fill (i.e. layers of form). How can I get a feature similar to Photoshop CS5? There is a sort of thumbnail of the shape layer, but the square icon covers 1/4 tile that makes partially useless.

  Choice you seems to be staying with an older version of dead of Photoshop or to adapt your workflow to the modified form of the Photoshop UI.

  You can simulate a shape layer to some extent to get the vector mask thumbnail. However, you would not have layers of Photpshop shape and features.

  

• How to reverse a clipping mask?

  I was curious on how to do the opposite of what would normally be a clipping mask.

  As a general rule, apply a clipping mask would do this:

  

  But I would like to know how to do this:

  

  Using a method which does not require the magic wand tool and who can do the inside edge anti-aliasing.

  Turn off and unclip the layer acetti.  CTRL click to load a selection and add a layer mask to the rectangle layer.

  You're OK with path Operations in the Options bar (with the tool pen or selected shapes?)

• Need quick help with a vector mask

  Hey, I'm going crazy with this seemingly simple task and cannot find the answer on Google. Thanks in advance.

  I have a red circle with a white arrow inside/on it. I want to create a vector mask that makes the whole image transparent where the arrow is, as if the red circle is a wall and the white arrow is a window. The rest should just be a red circle with an arrow inside hole. How can I do that using my existing forms?

  

  Hello

  It's pretty easy

  merge the two layers

  Select the white arrow in the Quick Selection tool and remove this part.

  Now, you'll get what you ask.

  You can create a copy of both layers first to test this.

• How to add a color gradient to an image

  Hello

  The first picture has a black gradient on the left and right sides. The image was not big enough for the canvas so the gradient has been added to fill. I can't understand how this was done.

  

  The second photo, I would do the same thing.

  

  Thirdly, the photo - but when I add a layer mask and the use of the foreground to the background gradient tool, it only fade the image on. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

  

  Thank you

  Make a selection top down on the side that you want to work - it change what you already have on the other side you can avoid.
